Notes:

Arriving in 1682, Henry Lewis, a Welsh Quaker, named 500 acres "Maen Coch," meaning Red Stone, the name of his village in Wales. Lewis built the first section of the mansion in 1700. Captain John Wilcox bought the property in 1750, added onto the house and changed the name to Grange Hall. Over the years, different owners have added to the mansion and sold off different parcels of the estate. Benjamin R. Hoffman and his wife sold parcels, leaving the current 9.917 acres. Some of these parcels of land became what are now known as Chatham Park and Chatham Village. In 1974 Haverford Township purchased the acreage from Margaret Hoffman's Estate.
